Erm, yes and no. We focused more on the medium than the exact architecture. In point of fact, we directly say we draw heavily from the Pergamum design. The high-order bit, so to speak, is that disks suffer from a variety of electromechanical problems that flash and other SCM's don't suffer from, making it more appealing as a long term storage medium. Its (potentially) longer 'shelf-life' and lower power requirements mean it would likely have lower total cost of operation than a disk based approach.
